A book no matter your age you just want to jump right into.
How I've made it to almost 30 years old without reading this book I will never know I grew up on the movie it was my dad and my brother's favorite movie and we had it on constantly in the house. I really wanted to start this year with a fun and easy read and something that's been on my to be read list for most of my life and in the end I really did enjoy it it was super fun and quirky and from beginning to end just a really great book.

If I hadn't read this for a book club I would have stopped reading it. Of course, now that I finished it, I have to read the next in the series.
In actuality, the book took me less than 4 hours to read. It just took 8 days to finish those 4 hours.
There wasn't anything wrong with the book. I just wasn't connected to the characters. I would have liked the whole Old Farts club to have been a major part of the book.
Edit - I just read someone's review of the series comparing it to the movie "Avitar". I wasn't a fan of the movie so, with the similarities, it would make sense I'm not overly enthusiastic about the book. If you get a chance, read the review of the 2nd book that describes an elevator ride between James Cameron and John Scalzi. I liked it more than Avitar.

It's just a pretty good, but not great, movie about an underdog boxer who has to overcome adversity to achieve his dreams.

Well, since this is becoming a movie, I figured I'd give the book a whirl.
I hope the movie is better.
The characters were flat, shallow, boring, and I didn't feel one way or another about any of them. Also, which family was this book actually about? It seemed to flip at the very end.
Also, the happily ever after ending was bizarre and I don't think it worked at all. Thank god this was a short book.
